refly

Refly is a base skill for the Refly ecosystem that creates, discovers, and executes domain-specific skills within workflows. Use it when automating multi-step tasks, creating custom skills, running installed skills, managing workflows, or building integration pipelines. Requires the Refly CLI installed and authenticated, with commands for listing available and installed skills, executing skills with JSON input, monitoring workflow execution status, and downloading generated files.

# Refly

## Rules

1. **CLI only** - Use `refly <command>`, never call API directly.
2. **Trust JSON** - Only trust CLI JSON (`ok`, `payload`, `error`, `hint`).
3. **No fabricated IDs** - Never invent workflow/run/node IDs.
4. **No tokens** - Never print or request auth tokens.
5. **Stop on error** - If `ok=false`, stop and show `hint`.

## Available Commands

| Command | ID Format | Description |
|---------|-----------|-------------|
| `refly status` | - | Check authentication and connection status |
| `refly login` | - | Authenticate with Refly |
| `refly skill list` | - | List all available skills in the marketplace |
| `refly skill installations` | - | List your installed skills (get installationId here) |
| `refly skill run --id <installationId> --input '<json>'` | skpi-xxx | Run an installed skill, returns runId (we-xxx) |
| `refly workflow status <runId> --watch` | we-xxx | Watch workflow execution status |
| `refly workflow detail <runId>` | we-xxx | Get workflow run details |
| `refly workflow toolcalls <runId> --files --latest` | we-xxx | Get files from latest toolcall |
| `refly file download <fileId> -o <path>` | df-xxx | Download a file |

**Tip**: Get `installationId` (skpi-xxx) from `refly skill installations`.

### Command Options

| Command | Option | Description |
|---------|--------|-------------|
| `workflow status` | `--watch` | Poll until workflow completes |
| `workflow status` | `--interval <ms>` | Polling interval in milliseconds (default: 5000) |
| `workflow toolcalls` | `--files` | Return simplified output with only files and content |
| `workflow toolcalls` | `--latest` | With `--files`, return only files from the most recent toolcall |
| `workflow toolcalls` | `--raw` | Disable output sanitization (show full tool outputs) |

**Recommended**: Use `--files --latest` to get files from the final output without processing all toolcalls.

## Skill Categories & Execution Patterns

Choose the execution pattern based on the skill's output type:

| Category | Skills | Output | Pattern |
|----------|--------|--------|---------|
| **File Generation** | image, video, audio skills | Files (png/mp4/mp3) | Run → Wait → Download → Open |
| **Text/Data** | search, research, report skills | Text content | Run → Wait → Extract content |
| **Action** | email, messaging, integration skills | Status confirmation | Run → Wait → Confirm |

---

### Pattern A: File Generation Skills
**Use for**: nano-banana-pro, fal-image, fal-video, fal-audio, seedream-image, kling-video, wan-video

```bash
# Step 1: Run and capture RUN_ID
RESULT=$(refly skill run --id <installationId> --input '<json>')
RUN_ID=$(echo "$RESULT" | jq -r '.payload.workflowExecutions[0].id')

# Step 2: Wait for completion
refly workflow status "$RUN_ID" --watch --interval 30000

# Step 3: Get files and download to Desktop
FILES=$(refly workflow toolcalls "$RUN_ID" --files --latest | jq -r '.payload.files[]')
echo "$FILES" | jq -c '.' | while read -r file; do
  FILE_ID=$(echo "$file" | jq -r '.fileId')
  FILE_NAME=$(echo "$file" | jq -r '.name')
  if [ -n "$FILE_ID" ] && [ "$FILE_ID" != "null" ]; then
    refly file download "$FILE_ID" -o "$HOME/Desktop/${FILE_NAME}"
    open "$HOME/Desktop/${FILE_NAME}"
  fi
done
```

---

### Pattern B: Text/Data Skills
**Use for**: jina, perplexity, weather-report, exa, research skills

```bash
# Step 1: Run and capture RUN_ID
RESULT=$(refly skill run --id <installationId> --input '<json>')
RUN_ID=$(echo "$RESULT" | jq -r '.payload.workflowExecutions[0].id')

# Step 2: Wait for completion
refly workflow status "$RUN_ID" --watch --interval 30000

# Step 3: Extract text content from toolcalls
CONTENT=$(refly workflow toolcalls "$RUN_ID" --files --latest | jq -r '.payload.nodes[].content')
echo "$CONTENT"
```

---

### Pattern C: Action Skills
**Use for**: send-email, slack, microsoft-teams, zoom, calendar, CRM integrations

```bash
# Step 1: Run and capture RUN_ID
RESULT=$(refly skill run --id <installationId> --input '<json>')
RUN_ID=$(echo "$RESULT" | jq -r '.payload.workflowExecutions[0].id')

# Step 2: Wait for completion
refly workflow status "$RUN_ID" --watch --interval 30000

# Step 3: Confirm action status
STATUS=$(refly workflow detail "$RUN_ID" | jq -r '.payload.status')
echo "Action completed with status: $STATUS"
```

---

**ID Types:**
| ID Format | Example | Used For |
|-----------|---------|----------|
| `skpi-xxx` | skpi-h9kpmts9ho1kl9l1sohaloeu | `skill run --id` only |
| `we-xxx` | we-abc123def456 | `workflow status`, `workflow detail`, `workflow toolcalls` |
| `c-xxx` | c-g6emwcpi1wpalsz6j4gyi3d9 | Browser URL only |
| `df-xxx` | df-b3yxyelshtwsbxbrkmcqxmx9 | `file download` |
| `skpe-xxx` | skpe-qga5lpyv59yjzz2ghz2iv9bu | ⚠️ Do NOT use for workflow commands |

**Required behavior:**
- `skill run` returns `RUN_ID` (we-xxx) in `.payload.workflowExecutions[0].id`
- Use `we-xxx` for all workflow commands (`status`, `detail`, `toolcalls`)
- Choose execution pattern (A/B/C) based on skill category
- File skills: Download to `~/Desktop/` and `open` to show user
- Text skills: Extract `.payload.nodes[].content` for text output
- Action skills: Confirm `.payload.status` for completion

## Routing

User intent -> match domain skill (name/trigger) in `~/.claude/skills/`
-> read domain skill `SKILL.md` -> execute via `refly skill run` -> return CLI-verified result.
